When the days blur together
When the days blur together
The days almost blur into one.
Sitting down two days later and trying to remember what you actually did is no easy task.
But I’ll give it a go anyway, while most of it is still tucked away somewhere in my memory.

Tuesday – school’s out and a food coma
Tuesday didn’t add many steps, I’ll admit that.
On the other hand, the company was all the better, because I got to see my grandchild Florence.
The end-of-term celebration for first grade was, after all, done and dusted – and with flying colours.

Then came what belongs to a day like that: smörgåstårta, ordinary cake and a bit of everything besides.
Finally, in the evening, the inevitable food coma set in.

The next day – dog-sitting Edith
The next day the step counter rolled along far better.
This time, you see, it was time to dog-sit Edith — or, as Florence likes to put it, our hairy grandchild.
Together we did a proper long loop around Tegeludden, and at a fairly brisk pace too.
Getting to borrow her now and then is actually rather nice.
At the same time, it reminds us of one thing: we probably don’t want a dog of our own after all.

Coffee and world problems at Global Living
Today it was off down to the centre for a coffee at Global Living.
As usual there was a fair amount of problem-solving — because honestly, the world would be far better run by us than by that Mr. Cheeto.
First it was the old boys.
After that, Västerås photo club Aros turned up, who tend to meet at various cafés to talk camera technique and all sorts of other things.
This time, though, I had a hard time keeping up, because everyone was talking over each other.

Julia Nimke Photography as an experience – not documentation.
Nimke stresses that she doesn’t photograph to “show what a place looks like”, but to capture the feeling of being there.
She seeks out small, often imperfect moments.
It’s the details and the atmosphere that make the picture personal.
The images become memories, not just documentation.
With the camera in hand she slows down, sees more and discovers what others walk straight past.
Jaime Fernandez de Bernabé
Jaime Fernandez de Bernabé is a photographer who has become known for his ability to capture the sublime in both people and places.
His style is often marked by a timeless aesthetic in which light plays the leading role.
Here are a few distinctive traits in his work:
Style and aesthetics
Light handling: Fernandez de Bernabé is a master at using natural light to create drama and depth.
His images often have an almost painterly quality reminiscent of classic portrait painting.
Minimalism: there is a purity to his compositions.
By stripping away unnecessary detail, he lets the viewer focus entirely on the subject’s emotional expression or the inherent character of the setting.
Black and white vs.
colour: he moves confidently between monochrome images that emphasise texture and form, and colour photography where the palette is often muted and sophisticated rather than loud.
Subject areas
He covers a broad spectrum, but certain themes keep recurring:
Fashion and lifestyle: he has worked with major magazines and brands, where he manages to combine commercial professionalism with an artistic touch.
Portraits: his portraits often feel intimate and honest.
There is a sense that he manages to catch an “in-between-the-moment” gaze rather than a stiff pose.
Travel and architecture: he documents places with an eye for symmetry and for how human structures interact with their surroundings.
Why he stands out
In an age where photography is often about quick consumption and filters, Fernandez de Bernabé’s work feels considered and slow.
There is a technical precision to his craft, but it’s the emotional resonance of the images that makes them linger with the viewer.
“His pictures aren’t only about what is seen, but about the atmosphere created in the space between the lens and the subject.”
